Mobile Device – Interactive Media Management

For the Interactive Media Management program, you may supply either a Mac or Windows based laptop. Your laptop must meet the Recommended Specifications (not Minimum Specifications) to run Premiere Pro from the Adobe CC Master Collection – listed at: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/user-guide.html/premiere-pro/system-requirements.ug.html

Note: Entry-level MacBook Airs, Netbooks, Chromebooks, or tablet-based laptops are not acceptable substitutes for this program.

Also note that you must be experienced, comfortable and organized with the operating system you select. It is also your responsibility for the upkeep of your computer and software.

For all configurations it is highly recommended to increase the RAM to the highest amount possible. A minimum 15 inch screen size is required. These configurations may change by the computer suppliers.

The use of a second monitor connected to your laptop will help with online in-class demonstrations and collaborative workflow.
